The Crane Wives released their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Beyond Beyond Beyond. This self-produced LP marks a bold departure from their previous work, showcasing a vibrant blend of rock, folk, and a touch of cinematic grandeur. The album is a journey of transformation, exploring themes of self-discovery, resilience, and personal growth. With the added texture of guest violinist Samantha Cooper and cellist Jordan Hamilton, The Crane Wives craft an unforgettable experience which connects deeply with their audience. Drummer Dan Rickabus explains:
The album begins with inner-conflict, and moves through a very human process of growth toward a bold belief in possibility, and an attempt to create change. Our collaboration on this album has been a creative experiment, resonating deeply with the lyrical content of the record.
The official music video for the lead single, Arcturus Beaming, directed by Jackson Ezinga, presents a hopeful queer coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a cosmic journey. This new visual aligns perfectly with the album’s optimistic tone. The Grand Rapids-based indie rock band known for their lush harmonies and dynamic sound, The Crane Wives will hit the road for a fall tour across Southern and Western U.S., with support from Patty Pershayla and Rett Madison.
